The students led by the NANS President, Mr Chinonso Obasi, condemned the sale of fuel above the normal price.

NANS had on Wednesday set up a monitoring team on petrol pricing, distribution and sales.

Obasi noted that the students’ body was a major stakeholder in the price regulatory control  and had at its council meeting, resolved that fuel must sell at N145 per litre.

He said the association could not allow Nigerians to be exploited in the face of harsh economy.

Obasi said that the students had resolved to seal any filling station selling fuel above the normal price.

The filling stations visited include Rainoil, Ascon and Fynefield which were selling fuel at N160 and N220 respectively.

Three members of staff of Fynefield filling stations were arrested in connection with the over pricing and handed over to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps.
